Another fun challenge over at the
Festive Friday blog...this time it is all about the candy canes!!
I pulled out my Friendship Jar: Holiday fillers for the candy canes. I embossed with white embossing powder onto white paper. Then I took a red memento marker and colored in the stripes. I cut around the canes so they would hang off the page. I added some hibiscus burst paper to each side and a bow from Bells and Boughs, stamped in red ink. I then pulled out the Tiny Tags and also Tiny Treats: Christmas for the sentiment. I stamped it at an angle to keep with the stripes of the candy canes. I used the super stripes impression plate (Papertrey ink) and daubed on some sweet blush in the raised areas of the stripes. Thanks for taking a look!

Love the candy canes-( I have those as well) and the bow really sets them off! Great card.
Love how you cut out the candy cane to hang off the page. Really cute and creative.
Oh, I love how you cut the canes to hang off your panel, and the bow is the perfect finishing touch! So good to see you playing with us again this week!
Candy cane perfection! And the bow in pink? Pops!
I love that they are hanging off the panel like that - and I also love the subtle candy cane stripes on the background! Thanks for joining us at Festive Friday!
I had to come and see your "great minds ... " card, Colleen, and I love it! It was my first time using those candy canes and I know it will be one of my favorites forever. Thank you for a great idea for another way to use it!!
Have a blast with your BFF!! How fun that she's a card artist, too!! Darnell
This is beautiful! I pulled out the same set as I am limited on candy cane options! LOL!
When I posted my card I saw that many of us did the same! Love how you mixed the pink in and cut around the canes too! Wonderful card! :)Jill
The bow and tag are adorable on your candy canes...such a nice way to finish them off! The pale pink stripes make a lovely background, too! Such a pretty card, Colleen! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Festive Friday!!!
